The Mountain Bluet (centaurea montana) will need to be divided this year...it's taking over! The Columbineis blooming in various colorways and dancing like fairy blossoms above most everything else...Shasta Daisies are just starting to bloom...as are the Foget-Me-Nots and Shooting Stars....
Bets, this one makes me think of you. It's the first Maltese Cross of the season.
It's cooler and rainy today (thank goodness) and the man is finally home again...(I honestly don't know how single parents maintain their sanity!) .....I'll have some neat pics from the village to share later this week....I'm going to work on some knitting now......
Hey! You...Get Offa My Yarn! (to the Rolling Stones tune.......) Tucker..you bad dog!
ADDENDUM:
I had to cut my season's first batch of rhubarb from the backyard patch. A neighbor gave me 2 plants about 3 years ago and they've multiplied so much. I love these colors...hey..Jayne...howzabout "Fresh Rhubarb" colorway...in a worsted....hmmmmmm......i'm thinking special order....hmmmmm....like i need more yarn! And there's still lots and lots more that hasn't ripened yet.....
And in case you're wondering exactly how much rhubarb this is....here's the hand for perspective....Rhubarb-Raspberry Pie anyone?

Yowza! My grandmother Edith grew rhubarb and raspberries right in the yard of the house I am in now and as kids we gorged on her homemade raspberry-rhubarb pies. Yum! Martha Stewart had a recipe years ago for a rhubabrb crumble that I used to make quite a bit in the summer.
Do you seriously have 24 hrs of daylight now?
Wow... love the flowers and the garden... and yum on the pies!
So pretty! I have to wonder... how does a garden fares when you have 24 hrs of night?
Having a brown thumb, I will definitely pick your brain after I move to the new house...
I. Want. Rhubarb.
Yum, I am drooling!
Rhubarb coloured yarn ... what a great idea! I'm sure Jayne could do something fantastic with that. I don't think my budget could handle it though ... and although I'm a fast enough knitter, I am buying Jayne's yarn faster than I can knit it up.
